[@tomclark6689]

That was crazy - incredible. I've watched literally hundreds of KZbin Bass Fishing videos, and you're absolutely right, I haven't seen anything even remotely similar to this. Exceptionally well done guys.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you so much Tom!!

[@bassinsquatch8503]

Absolutely insane footage... I cannot belive the amount of fish in this lake...

[@Brentster1953]

Yeah, thanks dudes! I want to dig my gear out of my locker, even more...

[@sammyharper1567]

Brent Schmidt why did you even put it in a locker to begin with! Fish on bub!

[@Brentster1953]

Well, my ride is temporarily broke down, and my tackle is at the club where I fish. So, depression has set in...

[@icearrow43]

Fishing probably looks so weird to the other fish bc it just looks like their friend is gettin his ass whooped by like a 2 inch minnow or a worm

[@swimstud5151]

I was literally thinking the same thing. You can see the wonderment on thier faces. 😂😂😂 But I also noticed most will stay there wanting thier shot at that little buzzy thing next. 🎣

[@AustinOutdoors.]

IceArro LMAO!!!

[@bobbywang9223]

Lol

[@eizzle78]

“Damn Fred, you gonna let that little crawfish whoop on you like that???”

[@TacticalJay62]

U high high

[@TheOky777]

It would be great to see a underwater video of fish reactions to such things as a trolling motor overhead being turned on and off, loud talking in the boat, a fisherman's or boat shadow cast over them, sonar sounds. It would be difficult but fascinating to see how they would react to those everyday fishing noises. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the good work.

[@spencershaw5923]

TheOky777 they make a device that I’ve seen on bass boats that is a little speaker that goes on the end of your trolling motor and it plays water noises to coat over those you mentioned. Not sure if it works , but rich fishermen love to increase there odds

[@StropSharp]

I've lined my canoe with carpet to aid in stealthy approach as well as cut the motor and slowly glide into my spot especially when night fishing never done a test but I believe it works rather than the alternative which can spook the big ones.

[@patrickrohlfing2647]

Iv'e seen it a lot on clear water lakes where smallies will follow under the shadow of the boat. I've been able to catch a handfull just dropping the bait off the back of the boat when they are doing that

[@dustinlines2181]

According to my Dad as a small child any noise that comes from my mouth or any sound of fun in general will spook a bass at least 27 miles away 😂

[@igorsekulic6945]

You guys find huge schools of bass and I haven't caught a bass in months😂

[@anglerissues1457]

Seriously, I gotta work extra hard to catch 2 fish in one day!😂

[@rodrigonavarro8242]

Ya

[@nps_bolz1784]

@@anglerissues1457 I caught 3 bass in one hour you just have to find em

[@mauricelangley5033]

I find that the time of day can be critical. Around sunrise, about 30 mins before & after. And maybe 45 mins before sunset & 15 mins after. I stick to the shoreline & the structure around it. Topwater poppers are Awesome! Oh, & if a lake isn't producing bites, find another one! Now go catch some bass buddy!!😁

[@anothersomebody8195]

My dad got the window perfectly one summer about 15 years ago camping and we were catching one every or every other cast. We literally got bored and switched to trout fishing for a while. I think we counted about 40 in the boat (C&R). I have NEVER been able to hit that window since 😥 It keeps the dream alive

[@lojofishing]

So dope....as usual

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Bud!

[@D-Bass_Fishing]

Was up lojo

[@fishboy242]

This is crazy!!!!

[@LT1BURNOUT]

I think its great that bass pro shops let you guys film this in their aquarium! just kidding guys, awesome vid!

[@njstorozuk]

This man funny as hell 😂😂 they do a great job for sure. Really helps you envision the process when it's happening in person

[@sharpsbabyg]

As a new angler, videos like this are priceless to me. I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. Literally seeing a difference each time I go out and try out what I’ve seen on your channel. Thanks for all of that, and for the amazing underwater content!

[@BeardedBassin]

Im surprised by how the other fish react when one gets hooked. I always assumed that it spooks them, but to me it looks like it doesn't even phase them.

[@tacticalbassin]

Isn't that incredible? They don't seem to care, if anything its makes them irritable and possibly easier to trigger.

[@Brentster1953]

A few seem to poop, uncontrollable, after getting hooked...lol

[@cmak4563]

"well..there goes rick" "told him"

[@mclovin6040]

Bearded Bassin ther kinda interested by what's going on

[@DrZiggyzoo1]

Fish: "Wow that is one strong meal! I'm sure glad I didn't eat it! I'll get the next one."

[@kyleverhelle8000]

Ive watched this 4 times and im learning so much on how each fish reacted, truly amazing you can capture this with a camera!

[@jaydraper5831]

Mannnn. That was the BEST fishing video ever. Matt and Tim I appreciate you guys and your channel. Thank you for your patience and teaching us all how to be better anglers.

[@proxcuber4741]

1:38 that bass hit so hard that he pooped himself😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@CookingandFishing]

Simply remarkable! I think a lot of saltwater fishing ignores how important triggering effects are...guys will catch the feeding stripers/flounder/etc, but strike out when they're not on the feed bag. Looking forward to the rest of your footage, amazing content that anyone fishing for anything with a lure can appreciate!

[@acnjshink]

Tim, Matt, Great footage I love y'all content, thanks for taking us up and personal with the predators, I've learned so much from watching and reading your content, greatly appreciated.

[@MRbassmasterman]

I've already watched this video three times and this won't be the last time. Truly some incredible footage. You can learn a lot just by studying how bass interact with lures. Looking forward to the next video!

[@christianchavez5308]

Best underwater bass fishing video hands down. Great job to you both. Can't wait to see more. I can't stop watching it

[@topfelya]

Amazing footage !

[@drewfarmer4088]

Incredibly well done. You guys are legends!

[@DiamondHead2010]

Deserves another comment - if they had KZbin fishing channel video awards, this would win something. Worth a rewatch, seeing the action underwater and the way bass react.. especially to the pauses definitely helps understanding what is going on in the water

[@MS-vm4ef]

Thank you guys. This was amazing. I am italian, I live and fish in Italy and have learnt so much from your videos lately. You have hands down changed my vision of bass fishing!

[@AtypicalOutdoors]

Great footage, this really gives me insight on how a jerk bait triggers bites!

[@jnsadavis5978]

Seriously cool footage. Thank you. Couple observations: It's amazing how aggressive the bass are, often attacking the bait from behind and below. Second, the speed in which they inhale the bait and close their mouths is impressive. And last, I noticed that often the surrounding fish don't seem to share their distress when a hook-up occurs. Lots to digest here.

[@tacticalbassin]

All awesome take-aways. There is a ton of information in there

[@warrenrosen2326]

They're pretty lathargic...until they want something.

[@user-no4xb5fg5t]

Because They're not distressed research has proven they don't have many nerve endings in their mouth and it doesn't hurt them when hooked.

[@causeofdeath8941]

I could watch this stuff for hours. Great footage...and great channel for anyone looking to become a better angler. Thanks!

[@AustinF29]

What a different world from that perspective. Thanks so much for all of the hard work. It really helps with understanding how bass react to baits/movement.

[@paulclay61]

Absolutely fantastic video! So interesting to see how the fish react to these baits and you are right, this is nothing like anyone else has posted! Thanks for your videos!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you Paul!!

[@liberoandreamazzucchelli4710]

Hands down the best video i've ever seen! amazing work guys!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you!!

[@miguelalvarez1155]

Phenomenal job guys there's no video out there like this. Keep up the great job Matt and Tim

[@bobbarnhill8557]

Once again Matt and Tim nail a great and informative video. The work that went into this had to be crazy time consuming. Great job guys

[@leoduren8962]

I love how this shows a lot of the hits came during the lure pause phase. I tend to crank and jerk my lures too frequently instead of allowing for frequent pauses.

[@johnnycarter1966]

Holy Crap Guys! This is epic footage! As Matt said, very informative, and entertaining!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you!!!

[@williamfleming2128]

The best bass fishing video on KZbin to date guaranteed . great work tactical Bassin

[@shtty17]

This is incredible. Ever since BASS Live started I always thought the next step is to take it underwater and this is even better than what I could've imagined. This is definitely going to change the way people go about shooting fishing videos

[@ATFISHING]

Wow some many things have to go right to capture footage like this. Thanks for putting in the time and hard work. Very instructional!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you!!

[@k3v015Mk]

Best fishing KZbin channel

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Kevin!

[@bassintheozarks3654]

Perhaps the greatest video on KZbin right now, nothing beats seeing a bass underwater, but having a fish eat a TOPWATER form that underwater Clearwater perspective is mind blowing, one heck of a video guys!

[@fishsnatcherstv6292]

Your guys' passion and commitment to deliver educational and entertaining videos is absolutely second to none! This video was freaking AWESOME and I'm so glad you guys stepped outside the box with the underwater video of topwater strikes. Keep up the fantastic work and thanks for everything you guys do!

[@johnlolofishing]

So badass!!! Who would give this a thumbs down? Probably a non bass angler lol... Great job guys!!

[@jeffzabriskie9689]

PETA for sure, i read an article by them about fishing and they aren't the smartest bunch

[@tacticalbassin]

Ha! Thank you John!

[@muskybites505]

Gotta play devil's advocate here...I have tried to thumbs up vids from my phone before and thanks to touch screens have accidently hit thumbs down. May be the case for some of them lol!?

[@Hickology]

The 5 thumb downs are from the people who got skunked yesterday and are still salty about it. Truly amazing footage!

[@tacticalbassin]

LOL Thanks man!

[@binothompson7900]

Gunk’D!!!!

[@zdproductions3903]

They can't be salty! I thought this was freshwater!

[@bobbywang9223]

I just got skunked at my local lake

[@SinisterNinjaOfficialNinja]

Tianlin Wang me too..

[@mikemilanou]

Awesome photography. It's a total education in itself. I had forwarded this out to all my fishing buddies. Thanks

[@jheinz8279]

Outstanding video guys! Not only entertaining, but educational! I will be watching this vid again and again to try to learn as much as I can about LMB behaviors. Thanks Matt and Tim, keep up the great work!

[@Andrew-pw2ol]

Top water blow ups at 3:30am? Yes please

[@tacticalbassin]

Hahahaha

[@TylersReelFishing]

People who dislike this video have no soul

[@tacticalbassin]

LOL! Thanks Bud!

[@DavidKaunang]

TylersReelFishing exactly! 😁👍

[@TravisKemFishing]

They're probably PETA supporters who dislike fishing period.

[@SkinnyWaterBoyzTV]

I was about to say the same thing, how could anyone dislike this video...

[@DavidKaunang]

Because, haters going to hate, hate, hate.. 😂

[@raggs973]

Great work guys!!!! Amazing footage!!! It's great to learn and see how bass react to baits. Keep up the great work fellas!!!!

[@MistaGrim]

As always, the BEST fishing channel on youtube. Video, teaching, information, etc. Keep it up guys!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you!!

[@NikoBased]

You can't tell me there aren't some fish who are looking at those lures and saying "no way". Some of them swim right up to it, look at it, and swim away.

[@12babyapes59]

Once bitten twice shy!

[@manifestgtr]

“Bahhhhh...I’m hooked!” “Oh no, they got jerry!”

[@paulmartin2586]

You must have had a blast recording this footage, I know that really enjoyed watching it !! Thanks !!!

[@bass-cafetournamentfishing5560]

This never gets old! Awesome guys!

[@cutlerylover]

That really was amazing footage! at 1:35 I can see one bass coming from the side decided he didnt want it maybe because he saw the hooks? then the other guy coming from below grabbed it could be because of the angle he didnt see anything wrong with it...although the second he bit down on it and realized it wasnt food he took a dump, haha...You really do learn so much from these underwater videos on how these fish act, thanks for taking the time to film and post them

[@ScuffedEngineer]

Glad to see you learning from these guys

[@tacticalbassin]

Yeah buddy! Isn't it incredible? The stop each other, they trigger each other, they fight over baits, who knew???

[@cutlerylover]

I learned more from the last 20 videos they posted about bass fishing than I learned the last 20 talking to other fisherman...no joke..

[@cutlerylover]

I guess we will never know right, your guess is as good as anyone elses what we do know for sure is as you mentioned every fish is an individual and you can learn from common actions but there will always be an exception to the rule...lol if you had 1000 people walk past a hole maybe 999 would step over it but we all know that one person who would fall in...maybe fish are the same way we dont care about the 1 that falls in we want to know how to get the rest to do what we want...

[@Uncle_Yukon]

Yup, I've SEEN fish just come up to a lure and nip only the hooks. I've also seen it in videos others have made. Maybe they think the hooks are a leach and want to eat the leach/hook.

[@jamess6734]

@1:40 the Bass literally shit himself when he realized it was a hooked bait. LMAO

[@Bassniper]

You guys rock! This footage and many others you guys shot have fundamentally changed my view of bass' behavior. Appreciate everything you did! Keep it coming! Big thank you!

[@fishaholicpaonthelake8929]

Unreal. You guys knocked it out of the park. Thanks for putting this together.

[@atomix126]

i love the reactive wide open mouth after it sets and the fish is like AHHHH WHY WHAT THE HELL LEAVE MY FACE

[@danwilliams4089]

Idiot

[@kevinjiang3251]

[@rickthibault3918]

Absolutely phenomenal footage. You guys are the best. Watching these videos will for sure up my game this year. Thanks Tim and Matt.

[@JJ-bl8tp]

Awesome, we truly appreciate yall's hard work. Number 1 fishing channel in my book.

[@drewfarmer4088]

10:07 those are some sticky hooks bro! That fish didn't even get the hook in it's mouth and still got hooked

[@tacticalbassin]

Exactly :-) Attention to detail always pays off! Wasn't that bite amazing?

[@4x4RunnerPNW]

1:38 lmao never seen a bass poo

[@Twangtown7]

Jesus. Just when I thought this channel couldn't get any better. Awesome work, fellas!

[@JeffRigney]

Thank you guys for that. I know that was a lot of work. Great job!!!!

[@czykrepublic4323]

Wow, awesome video! Must be a private pond or something with the huge gills and how aggressive those bass are.

[@ahastar1141]

CZYK Republic it may be seasonal too. My understanding is in the fall bass get highly competitive as they try to fatten up

[@Predator199]

Wishful thinking! lol

[@BassQuest]

WHAT

[@mattwolder9148]

One of the greatest underwater footage of fishing ever. Great vid guys!

[@pat8638]

OMG. You guys have raised your subscriber's fishing IQ waaaaaaaaaaaaaay up each time you post new one, especially the underwater footages like this one! Bravo guys. This one is incredible. Thanks a million. I'll be watching it multiple timessssss.

[@danedwards3015]

Excellent Video guys!

[@laredawg99]

Insane underwater perspective... great Brim shots too! Nice job guys; I could watch that over & over!

[@yunngsachi9968]

This video is insane gives you a new perspective on their behavior as well. You always hear how the react to top water but never really get to see it as well as it is here. Thanks for that and good stuff guys!

[@dylanstoddart298]

This is crazy!! Super informative also, kind of helps you understand the way they react to different actions and stuff. Really awesome video

[@johnoortman9254]

Prime examples of why ultra sharp hooks are a must! Insane vid! Best fishing video I've ever seen! Great job guys!

[@kyleadams1215]

Man look at all the big bass hangin in one spot!!! Crazy!!! Nice job guys. Watched this video years ago and still amazes me

[@donaldbrown1792]

Best underwater bass catching video, period

[@kylehenderson2257]

What incredible footage! never seen anything like this with the top waters and how that noise is transferring in the water. You can really learn so much by just watching this. Keep it coming guys i really cant wait

[@huntnfishnuts5880]

This is by far some of the best under water footage I've seen. The top water footage is incredible just like shark week. Amazing how quickly they can cover distance to get to a lure.

[@Ken-eh4hh]

This is the most amazing underwater video I've ever seen! Now that's what I'm talkin about. This is incredible footage of bass striking lures. VERY VERY WELL DONE!

[@richshackelford5793]

That was freaking awesome. Thanks for putting in the hard work guys. Hit a home run with this video.

[@ReelCrazyFishing33]

Topwater is my absolute favorite type of fishing.. a video like this right here will give others confidence to use these baits! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Do more like this it is worth it for the viewers :P Cheers guys!

[@TheSnake2009]

That was the Best guys. Gives us so much info on how they react to lures!!

[@absoluteexteriorcleaningll5024]

This is by far the most entertaining/educational video you guys have done! Thx!

That was freakin' amazing!!! Love the fun side of it but more the learning aspect of it.

[@crod200]

Hands down the greatest fishing video I have ever seen. Great work guys!!

[@Magik1369]

This is the most incredible live bass video I have ever seen. The insights and knowledge gained from this live footage and from the testing that TacticalBassin has done is invaluable. I'm learning a lot from you guys and getting more bigger fish in the boat because of it. Great video and keep up the great work!

[@codyphillips977]

The most badass underwater footage of bass ever! No joke that is insane guys

[@TheNickbena]

this was one of the sickest bass videos i've seen. great job, hard work pays off.

[@MrMightyBeans]

Amazing video guys. I enjoy fishing on my spare time and occasionally look for tips and tricks on bass fishing. This is by far the best video I've seen. You guys are just awesome. Great video!

[@glee0425]

Watching this just gets me all hyped up for spring fishing. Can’t wait to catch a new PB.

[@paullanctot4486]

These videos really drove home why pauses and jerks on the retrieve are so important! Thanks guys

[@kyleschneider8962]

Always revisiting this video... Amazing.

[@xanderfishing4973]

Insane insane insane I didn't have time to watch this in school so glad I finally got to take a look. My eyes have been blessed with bass fishing at its finest. You guys are the absolute best in the KZbin game

[@ferrarigirl666]

This is by far the coolest fishing vid out there! This should have 10million views easy! Soooo cool!!

[@madaluna452]

Im just speechless this has to be the most best under water bass fishing video ever!! you guys always push the to the next level

[@michaeljohnston4167]

I've learned alot during this video. Especially about glide baits since I'm primarily a swimbait fishermen. Another great vid!

[@tylerdawson9800]

That was insane there is nothing else out there like this video besides your other videos and you guys have taken underwater videos to a whole new level. Great video

[@TheDrewchebag]

Awesome video! More underwater glide bait action please!

[@jeremyb.4638]

You guys are absolutely killing it with this kind of content! You deserve millions of subscribers and you WILL get there if you keep this up! There is no fishing channel even remotely close to you guys. Stellar job guys!

[@Farmd427]

Awesome footage! Thanks for putting in so much time to this footage!

[@jtbassfishing370]

These clips are absolutely amazing! I love studying how bass react to our baits, especially topwater! I'd love to see one with Smallmouth.

Thanks Bud! We've got a little smallie content, working on more.
